    According to Latino Review, the top contenders for the role of The Ancient One are Morgan Freeman, Bill Nighy and Ken Watanabe.

    Well that just means that the Collector is pretending to be Dr Strange for some reason, or Doctor Strange is pretending to be the Collector for another reason.

    All great actors but surprisingly 'inside the box' by Marvel standards, IMHO. Usually they're a little less obvious with their casting.

    Michio Kaku would be perfect for the Ancient One. :mallory:

    Eh, I think it's no different than Anthony Hopkins as Odin.

    I think Ken Watanabe would be great as the Ancient One.

    Yeah, or Hugo Weaving as Red Skull I suppose. But when they cast the likes of RDJ, Jeff Bridges or James Spader, there was a real 'oh, I didn't see that coming' sort of excitement, for me anyway. All of those actors would be great, I just hoped for that unexpected factor again,

    Well, I certainly wouldn't have expected Morgan Freeman, since I was expecting an Asian dude ;)

    In Guardians of the Galaxy (set in the 30th century) Stephen Strange is the Ancient One.

    Um?

    Was he okay with the Badoon controlling Earth for a thousand years?

    How odd.

    The Badoon didn't control the earth for a thousand years and in any event Dr. Strange and the Defenders haelped to liberate the earth.

    That link is from October, as is the quote from Feige. Cumberbatch was confirmed more recently.
